Course Description

This course introduces students to building, running, and managing containers using Podman and Red Hat OpenShift. It provides foundational skills for developing containerized applications applicable across all versions of OpenShift, including Red Hat OpenShift on AWS, Azure Red Hat OpenShift, and OpenShift Container Platform. The course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 9, Podman 4.4, and Red Hat OpenShift® 4.14.

Impact on the organization: A container-based architecture improves application reliability, scalability, and facilitates continuous integration and continuous deployment. This course provides the foundation needed for OpenShift development and is the entry point to digital transformation through application containerization.

Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.

Impact of this training: As a result of attending this course, you will understand the foundations of container-based application development. You will be able to run, manage, and troubleshoot containerized applications. This course is the starting point for the OpenShift developer curriculum and provides the foundation you will need to advance to cloud-native developer courses.

The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers exam (EX188) tests your skills and knowledge of the fundamentals of containers, including the ability to find, customize, run, and manage containerized services in stand-alone environments. This exam is based on RHEL9, Podman v4.4, and OCP v4.14, but the content is applicable to all OCP v4 releases, including OCP 4.10 and OCP 4.12. Candidates can use any OCP v4 release to prepare for the exam. By passing this exam, you become a Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers, which also counts towards earning a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA®).
